Just Rambling

 

I’m feeling emotional, sappy, negative today. Nice combo. I love it. NOT! I have so much to look forward to over the next few months, heck even the next year which should be one of the biggest years of my life. But, I’m just kind of stuck.

Allen and I spent about 80% of our free time together before last summer when he went to work with his Dad in soflo (South Florida). Then I started nursing school and he started a new job and our schedules collide, I study all the time, he gets home late and goes to the gym for freakin’ ever. So basically we see each other on the weekends and maybe one day during the week, if we are lucky. We don’t live together yet but we only live about 10 minutes apart….still we just haven’t been us since nursing school. But I guess that’s life, I don’t really feel like me since nursing school because I stay stressed the freak out about 89% of the time and all I think about is failing and higher education after nursing school and when am I going to have time to get married and have kids and get a doctorates degree.

I know I need to take it one day at a time and things will fall into place as they should with some direction from the man upstairs. Which I am heavily counting on these days, direction. Because I feel like I have none.

I saw on Dr. Oz today that omega 3’s (which I do not get enough of in my diet) make you feel happier and of course they make you healthier, duh. I’m considering hopping in the car now and driving to wal mart.

On a happier note. I am obsessed beyond obsessed with cupcakes and baking and pretty much anything sweet. Today, I went to my favorite cupcakery in town and grabbed two cupcakes, I got a cookies and cream cupcake (a staple) and a key lime pound cake cupcake. Well guess what?! I KNOW I HAVE THE EXACT RECIPE FOR THE KEY LIME POUND CAKE!!!!  It was in Southern Living last spring/summer and I have made it 3 times and love it.

The second I bit into that little cup of heavenly cake, I knew. So I immediately texted my BFF, Anna another cupcake obsessor and connoisseur. It just gets me giddy that I know I have a recipe that’s being used in a cupcake shop…and these cupcakers are no joke. They were on cupcake wars, came in 2nd. I have a cupcake recipe they use. Who’s all that and bag of chips? Me!

I’ll share that very recipe here soon. As soon as I dig it out of the recipe box. Which will; be before this weekend. I am going to make them for Anna’s birthday gathering on Sunday.

I’m also going to try out a vanilla bean cake recipe along with vanilla bean buttercream. I shall be back to share if it’s worth sharing that is.

 

This my friends, is a picture from the good ole days. Footloose and fancy free. Growing up really does suck.

love,
